Chapter 101 - Chapter 101: Whole Crowd Shocked! Three-Year-Old Wins Car!

About three minutes later, two staff members led the family of three onto the stage, followed by a police officer and a notary from the industrial and commercial bureau.

The host then took the lottery ticket from a staff member. The scratch-off area on the ticket showed "Grand Prize ★ Car," and the security area had been scratched but was sealed with opaque tape. Fang Bai's signature and the company's seal were on the front of the ticket, and the notary told the host that the organizer's general manager had already verified it.

The host took the lottery ticket, walked around the stage, and passionately shouted, "Folks, good news, great news!

Today, the first santana car prize is officially revealed!

A new car worth 200,000 yuan, genuinely valuable.

This is also my first time seeing what a Grand Prize lottery ticket looks like.

Don't push, even if we gave you the winning ticket, it would be useless now. The winner has already registered their identity information, so anyone who snatches this ticket now will find it invalid."

The crowd below the stage saw the host walk around with the lottery ticket, merely displaying it. Only a small portion of the people near the front of the stage caught a glimpse of the words "Grand Prize" as it flashed by, but that was enough.

The scene instantly became boisterous, and the area in front of the stage was so crowded that it was impossible to move.

After completing his round, the host returned to the center of the stage, took the microphone, and asked the father of the winning family of three, "The audience here is so fired up, so enthusiastic.

Please, folks in front of the stage, do not crowd. I'm truly afraid you'll push the stage over. Please be sure to pay attention to safety.

May I ask, what is the surname of this gentleman who won the Grand Prize? And where are you from?"

"My surname is Zhang, no need for formalities. I'm from Qingfeng Mountain."

The young father, holding his three-year-old son, was all smiles, looking at his son and giving his cheek a big kiss. The young woman next to him was also very excited.

When they scratched the lottery ticket and saw the words "Grand Prize," they were utterly shocked, almost screaming out, and quickly put the winning ticket away.

The couple took their child to the prize collection area and asked the staff how to claim the Grand Prize, but they didn't give the staff the lottery ticket, genuinely afraid it would be swallowed by the other party.

At that moment, the surrounding crowd who heard them all looked at them, and the couple felt like they were a cake being eyed by everyone.

Fortunately, after the staff reported upwards, a young man in a suit arrived a moment later. He told them he was General Manager Fang, the overall person in charge of the event, responsible for Grand Prize verification, and then led them to the notary office. Only then did the couple agree to hand over the lottery ticket for verification.

At that time, the couple stared very nervously at General Manager Fang.

Luckily, he scratched the security area, took only one look, and politely told them, "Congratulations, you've won the Grand Prize santana car. We need to register your identity.

No need to be nervous, I only recognize you. Anyone who picks up this ticket will find it invalid. You'll first go on stage to say a few words of thanks, and we hope you'll help us with some promotion.

After you've finished on stage, come back to complete the car collection procedures. Rest assured, there are no additional fees."

After listening, the couple's hearts settled. They were extremely excited and bowed to General Manager Fang, saying that helping with promotion was no problem.

Afterward, staff members and notary personnel led them to the stage area.

Recalling the prize collection process, their emotions were too complex. Only when they heard the host asking them questions did they snap back to reality.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you do for a living, and how did you win this Grand Prize car?"

"I work in a factory. My precious son picked the lottery ticket. I only bought five, and I never imagined my luck would be this good." Mr. Zhang still seemed somewhat in disbelief.

The host laughed, "Your son is amazing, haha."

"Thank you, I'm very happy. Our child is truly our lucky star."

Mr. Zhang was so excited he was incoherent, and he patted his bewildered son's big head again, who probably didn't yet realize what winning a car meant for the family.

The child's mother picked up her son, also moved to tears by the atmosphere, truly an overnight fortune, and all thanks to her precious son.

They hadn't yet figured out how to handle the car; the happiness came too quickly.

The audience below saw the child's mother on stage, crying tears of excitement, her true emotions showing. She was so happy. If it were them, they would probably cry too.

"This is human nature. If it were me, I'd be very happy too."

"Thank you. To be honest, we still don't know what to do with the car we won. I don't know how to drive, and I can't afford the driving lesson fees either."

The host, with a smile, said enviously, "The organizer should have told you that Xinghai Company will handle all the procedures and license plate registration for your new car. You don't need to spend another penny.

Of course, the future maintenance, upkeep, and fuel costs for the car will be your responsibility.

As for driving lesson fees, you'll have to manage that yourself; the organizer isn't responsible for it.

Regarding how to handle the car, the organizer will not interfere."

"Thank you, we will consider it carefully. We're currently having a headache figuring out how to drive the car home."

"Don't worry about that. It will take a few days to process the paperwork and get the license plate. Your car will just be temporarily stored here. Once the license plate is ready, you can drive it away before the event ends.

If you can't find an acquaintance who can drive, the organizer will arrange for staff to personally deliver it to your doorstep." The host said, as Fang Bai had told him.

"Thank you, thank you." Mr. Zhang pulled his wife and son, bowed slightly to the crowd below in thanks, and also thanked the organizer, before turning to leave the stage.

They still needed to go to the prize collection area for commemorative photos, go home to bring their documents for the procedures, and also think carefully about how to handle the new car.

Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, many people spread the news about the three-year-old child winning the Grand Prize.

Not long after, the audience on site generally knew about it, and the atmosphere became completely boisterous.

"Wow, a three-year-old child won the Grand Prize, is that for real?"

"It's real! Didn't you see the fireworks just now, and the broadcast announcements? After the winning couple chose their car, they put their child on the car hood, and the organizer helped them take commemorative photos. There were also reporters taking pictures, so it's probably going to be in the newspaper."

"I just arrived, I didn't know! Oh my god, if I had a son like that, it would be hard not to get rich overnight."

"Sigh, no way, they have a good son. So lucky."

"Yes, I didn't bring enough money, only ten yuan, and bought 4 lottery tickets. I won an eighth prize. My luck isn't good today, I'll try my luck again tomorrow."

At 2 PM, no less than 50,000 people had gathered at the event site.

Around the stage, nearly ten thousand people formed a sea, dressed in various outfits, interweaving into a colorful picture.

The host's shouting, the boisterous cheers, and the rhythm of the music intertwined in the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

When another grand prize was announced on stage, the crowd surged towards the stage from different directions like several turbulent tides.

The continuous stream of people on site, like an endless human sea, gave a spectacular and shocking feeling.

Wen City had never been this lively before.

In front of each lottery sales point, people waved cash, queuing to snatch up lottery tickets, afraid that the next santana car would be taken by someone else.

In reality, it was impossible for a second Grand Prize to appear today until the first batch of lottery tickets was sold out. Fang Bai had strict control over it, but the public was unaware.

There were many people today, but many of them didn't bring much money. They just wanted to come and see, not expecting so many people to be there.

The method of promotional activity was exactly the same as when a shopping mall opens, only the scale of promotion was larger. Besides Wen City and Yongjia County, other counties also had promotions.

Many people on site came from other counties to join the fun. When they return, they will tell their relatives, friends, and neighbors, and even more people will come tomorrow.

By 3 PM, the 55th grand prize was announced, including one Grand Prize and four First Prizes.

In front of the prize areas for the eighth and ninth prizes, there were more than ten long queues, with various expressions—some happy, some disappointed. Everyone discussed animatedly, looking enviously at the lucky people queuing up nearby to collect larger prizes.

For example, at the bicycle prize collection area, there was a line of people. The people who received bicycles beamed with bright smiles, laughing exceptionally happily.

After 3 PM, the crowd began to disperse, and the human sea slowly receded.

As dusk fell, there were still nearly a thousand people on site. The host, with a hoarse voice, announced the end of today's event and that it would continue tomorrow.

Fang Bai looked at the mess on the ground, full of discarded useless lottery tickets and other trash. He thanked the staff for their hard work and arranged for personnel to clean up the site.

The sales staff at each sales point were all exhausted, sighing that they could finally rest. The sales representatives had to return to the shopping mall for settlement.

At 7 PM, the site was finally cleaned up, and only then did Fang Bai have time to return to the shopping mall to check today's sales performance.
